Air or water in the fuel system
• Remove the water from the fuel tank.
• Check the fuel-pipe-joint-bolts and nuts for looseness.
• Purging of the fuel system as the fuel filter and the
supply pump. See Purging of the fuel system on page
122.
Fuse is blown out.
• Check the fuse and replace it with a same-capacity
one as required.
Oil viscosity is too high the engine
runs sluggishly in winter.
• Use the engine block heater (option).
Battery is almost dead causing insuffi-
cient compression.
• Recharge the battery.
Low DEF (AdBlue) level • Add DEF (AdBlue) to the tank.
Insufficient engine power
Low fuel level • Check the fuel and add it if necessary.
Clogged air cleaner • Clean the air-cleaner-element.
Low DEF (AdBlue) level • Add DEF (AdBlue) to the tank.
Engine suddenly stops.
Low fuel level
• Check the fuel and add it if necessary.
• Purge the fuel system.
Low DEF (AdBlue) level • Add DEF (AdBlue) to the tank.
